For over three decades, the Pacific Northwest Vascular Society has focused on the mission laid out by the founders: To contribute to the understanding of vascular diseases by promoting the professional development of specialists in vascular disease. To maintain high standards in caring for the patient with vascular disease by providing a forum for the presentation of scientific information and the proposal of theories concerning vascular diseases.

PNWVS leadership at the 2019 executive council meeting decided to task you with the development of the future of vascular surgery that starts right in your office. Join us in taking steps to double the medical student attendance with more student stipends and programs. If you are working independent from academia, please bring one of your partners and help me grow our important aspect of the membership. If you are in academia, I am encouraging you to take the lead in your institution to mentor students to attend and use the meeting to enrich the dialogue towards vascular surgery as a specialty in US and Canada.

Join us in celebrating the successful virtual meeting October 30, 2020 using zoom powered by Whova. President Dr. Brian Ferris extends his thanks to Dr. Matthew Sweet, Program Chair and Dr. Jeffrey Pasenau for their great contributions to the program as moderators.

Join us in November 18 – 19, 2021 at the Benson Hotel where we will host a live meeting with scientific sessions, industry displays and the best networking events in surgery! New Program Chair Dr. Enjae Jung form OHSU will be collecting abstracts starting May 15, 2021 – August 15, 2021. Please see our annual meetings tab for official call for abstracts.
